By husband and I aren't picky- we like clean, quiet and well-located hotels and tend to stay away from anything overly stuffy and pretentious. The Handlery Union Square met all of these needs for us! We looked this hotel for $139 a night on Travelzoo (a steal for Union Square). The hotel could not be in a better location and... More

Beautiful hotel right opposite Union Square in San Francisco. This hotel is quaint, the staff are fantastic and the rooms are a little small but well furnished and have a great feel about them. Internet is fast, TVs are great and beds are also good. Position is fantastic and it competes with the Westin and a few other larger chains.... More

This place is perfect for visiting San Francisco. Steps from the cable car lines, bus stops right in front, restaurants everywhere and just a short walk to the BART station. We almost stayed in Fishermans Wharf but changed to the Handlery and glad we did. Don't let complaints of street noise and homeless scare you away, your gonna have that... More

This hotel is in the right location but after paying $100 less per night for 5 star in Los Vegas it was an expected (from previous reviews) but still a bit of a shock. We stayed on the "new side" but it must still be at least 15 years old. The room was very clean and the showers are always... More

Stayed here for 1 night. It was great that they offer Kamaaina Rates (Hawaii resident rates) so we got a good price. Parking was expensive but average price for SFO. Room was small but again it's SFO and most of the rooms are small. The reason I didn't give it a 5 rating is because we pulled up to the... More

The Handlery was easy to find and had convenient valet parking. Its location was perfect for us since we had events planned nearby that allowed us to walk to most. Check-in was fast, friendly and efficient. The staff overall was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We got excellent wine-buying tips from the concierge and particularly personal service from the bell staff... More

After my unfortunate experience last year, I didn't have occasion to return to San Francisco overnight until early June of this year. I had made some plans to meet up Saturday evening with some friends near Union Square. Several other hotels wanted to charge in excess of $400 a night after taxes, and I simply couldn't justify such an exorbitant... More
